Regarding the recent "Re: Make child widget doesn't erase borders ?",
it seems it would maybe help folks if Fl_Group had an easy way for
to let the user easily turn on clipping for the group's children.
>From that thread:
It definitely was harder than I thought to get a group
to clip its children, without doing a fancy low level draw().
Might be useful if Fl_Group had two new methods:
clip(flag): enable/disable clipping. If enabled, by default
it would clip to the widget's own xywh, so a group could
be a child of a window, and children would clip within that
region.
clip(x,y,w,h): set the actual clip region for drawing
children, so it can be smaller than xywh. If set, it would
enable an fl_push/pop_clip around the draw_children() call.
This would allow the API to easily support the opposite of an Fl_Scroll
without the user having to derive a custom widget from Fl_Group.
Not sure if there's hidden complexities there or not.. seems easy.
resizing() would have to adjust the clip region (if set) similarly.
Would hopefully only add a simple if() overhead to apps that don't
need clipping.
